[Scene: the intensive care unit of St. Expedite Hospital; more specifically, room 14. We see a number of people crowded around a hospital bed; a portly bearded man with a hospital gown lies unconscious, hooked to a number of machines. In the background, we hear the beeping of an EKG... time begins to move faster, people coming and going... day becoming night becoming day becoming night. After a few more days, the gentleman awakens... time keeps on slipping, and we eventually watch as he is rolled out of the hospital in a wheelchair. He rises; he walks to and enters a car, which speeds off as time continues moving at a tremendous rate. It parks in a suburban driveway; we watch as the man walks into his house behind what we can assume are his parents. He enters a basement, gingerly walking down the stairs... he steps over to a workbench, clearing a half-assembled video game console from its work surface with a swipe of one arm. He picks up a plastic-encased glove with a number of buttons on the back of its hand.]
Kanady: Look at this crap- this is bullshit. Fuckin' toys. It's gonna take a lotta work to get all this shit ready.
[He puts the glove back down, walking over to his computer; it's fried, a black stain on the side where the power surge caused the AC supply to explode.]
Kanady: What a shitload of fuck.
[He digs into a closet, pulling out a boxy 90s laptop; as it boots, time advances once more. We watch as he does a few internet searches, finally reaching a conclusion... he places the laptop on his work table, stepping away. We can see on his screen a picture of UCI's Guardians amongst a number of news blurbs in other windows; the headline of one reads "Strange object strikes power station, outages for 4,000".]
Kanady: Guardians... look at these fuckin' fucks. Think they're so cool, blowing up shit in space- well fuck you, Guardians, you think you're cool now? You ain't seen nothin' yet.
[He picks up a plastic light-gun controller, beige and orange in color... he places it on his worktable alongside his controller-glove.]
Kanady: Today I am Christian Kanady no more- you took that from me, you pieces of dog shit! Now you're gonna have to deal with what you've done, Guardians-
[He clenches his fists, punching into the air wildly.]
Kanady: -now you're gonna have to deal with 8-BIT!
